Bursting with romantic charm, this beautiful home gives you double the delight. With a modern villa sitting alongside a 19th-century trullo, there’s something for everyone here. If you’d love nothing more than a little space to call your own with your loved one by your side, the quaint trullo will be right up your street. Cosy in atmosphere with independent access, it’s just the spot for a tranquil escape. Whether you choose to stay in the villa or trullo, one thing is clear – the indoor and outdoor spaces blend together seamlessly here. The private pool will be a welcome sight in the heat of the day, and a place you’re sure to while away many hours. For the ultimate in alfresco dining, light the barbecue and dine under the pergola, draped in vines. With glimpses of the sparkling sea visible on the horizon, you’ll soon feel the need to sink your feet into the sand – a short five-minute stroll through the pretty lanes and your wish will come true. Under the warmth of the Italian sun, you’ll feel utterly content – a feeling only the most special of places can evoke.
